in the drawing: Figure l an elevation oi the structure; hi zurc 2 is a detail perspective oil? one of the pelt l and Figure ii is an end eleva tion of one of the urine oi? the stretcher.

Referring to the drawing); in detail it will ienl; frame 1 n'eferahlv termed of a single piece oi spring n'ietal hent into ii-shape end, h reason of its inherent resiliency, having a tendency to contract. [fr her 2 is pivotall .n he seen that the iuvcntiim comprises :1 resilmounted on one end of the frame 1 by means of a strap 53 and is provided with a series of notches l tor e jarring a pin 5 on the other terminal oi traine whereby the distance between the side members of the frame IMF he varied so that an outward tension may' he placed upon the pe t which is disposed over the Frame. The Tall-3 1. comprises two arms (3 which are connected by the portion 7. :1 clip is mounted on each arm 6 and consists of a single strand of resilient wire bent to provide a strz ight arm 8 having a large coil 9 at one end and a small coil 1.0 at the other end. The coil.

. cnnhinetion and errai'igenient of parts.

9 adapted to he disposed about the rm 6 on which the clip is disnosed. it strait-J1 extension ll. exends froin the enroll coil lund terminates in a hoot: 12 the rounded portion of which is ahutted vith an intermediate portion of the arm 8 so thattho extension 11 is disposed in spaced per lie! rciotion. to tl e arm 8, These clips are used for engaging the leg): portions of the pelt c it when the Silllli) is dlsno ed on th rune.

itas evident that the clips may he niovc'i longitudinally oil the arms 6 and rotated 1 l i device uni be utilized and the flips may the leg; portions tha they rotate thereon whereby ti. for various sine-s he rcznlilv thereof oh'ir and slide on the firms.

The operation o't the device will he xi i-- derstood by those shill. the art from t drawings in connection with the description herein.

it is re:

iuily apparen. that many chat; may he made in the 05111. and details of construction and in the shni'ie and size of th parts without deoartino; troni the invention as hereinafter clzr nod.

llhat is claimed is: A. fur stretcher comprising a :irane ha rmg a normal tendency to contractwhen panded, and inch dine 2i pair of resilicnilyx connected side members. a pair ot clips. on mounted on ench side member, ach (it said 0 ins including a straight tansverselv er.- tendingz; arm. a coil for; red at one end oi. the arm and embracing: the respective sine .i'neniher oi the lranze in such 1 iunner as to he rot-stably and slidablv :uljustable upon the said member, a. coil :torined {Lil the other end of the said arm and terminating in an exi'e ision extending parallel to and adjacent the arnn the sari d extension having); a hook :it its end lr vino; its hill presi-inted outwardly. the hack oi the hook being held in ment with the said arm through the resilience of the last mentioned coil.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my Sll'l'lllb ture.
